He could probably still get his data as a data dump if he was European, just not his accounts reinstated. As Mark is apparently an American citizen though, the GDPR does not apply.

Does anyone know what happens if one is a European citizen (or dual-citizen with the US) but physically resident in the US?

Can one invoke EU rights, or is it tied to being physically resident like a DVD region?

What if the EU citizen flies to Europe? Can they then invoke their right from the physical territory of Europe?

I feel this is somewhat uncharted water.
